I rented this movie because of the cast. I was surprised, but not disappointed. Real bare bones noir style for this subject matter. Not really funny but amusing all the same. Unevenly paced but light with good characters. Good acting by everyone. Especially Shady, A particularly powerful presence. Joe Piscopo was as good as ever, and John Heard was as funny as I've ever seem him. Armand Assante nails the roll of head mafia boss, and its the first time I've ever seen Steven Bauer in acomedy roll. Pretty good. I got lost a few times and didn't really catch on till about the middle of the movie. Then I watched it over again and liked it better the second time around.
